I maintain distibution lists for sending email to everyone in the company.
When I try to share it with other users as I would a contact via email, the
person recieving it recieves it as an attachment, opens it and sees the
distribution list just as I do. But, when the click save and close, it does
not show up in the contact list.

We are not using Exchange.
We are using office 07 and some 03
 
You're not sending correctly. Send the DL as an Outlook Item in an RTF
message.
 
OK, sorry, I'm missing something here. Can you give me a bit more detail?

Thanks.

There isn't any more detail.
1. Create a new message in RTF format.
2. Insert the DL as an Outlook Item in the message (Instructions: Insert >
Item...)
3. Send the message to your recipient.
4. Recipient will be able to open and save the DL to the default Contacts
Folder.

Hi, I have a related issue.

I've created a Distribution List. I emailed it as an attachment. The
recipient opened & saved it to their oulook contacts. Whe we go into their
contacts and open the list, its fine...when we click on the individual name
to see their contact card/more information, its not there. We get an error
message that its been removed??

What are we doing wrong and what would be the best way to share a DL?
Thanks!

You didn't send any of the underlying Contact Records. Why would you expect
them to be there? All you sent was a DL. You got what you sent. When you
sent the DL, you broke the links to any related Contact Records.
